Speed Of q Fast Train,

Speed is hard to average. The 90 and
rs miles an hour train is generally a
myth. An average Of 48 $40 per hour is
the fastest time in the United States. This
is made on the Pennsylvania '1imited'' in
its run from Jersey City to Philadelphia,
80 miles, in less than two hours. The
ssFlying Dutchman" train is supposed to
make The fastest time In the world, be-
tween London and Bristol, 118 IA miles,
in less than two hours. The average,
though, OF even this fast train Is only
50 1-8 miles per hour. There are several
other trains noted for remarkably fast
time on short distances. Sometimes
straight and even grade for a distance of
20 miles will permit train to run at the
rate of more than mile minute. One
train on the Canadian Pacific road, from
Cotaneau to Ottawa, averages so miles an
hour for distance Of IS miles. On the
Central road the late Mr.. Vanderbilt
travelled at the rate of 90 miles an hour.
An average Of S6 10 miles an hour is con-
sidered fast travelling. Many of the
limited, lightning expresses do not go at O
faster rate. The value of railroads in the
United States exceeds $4,000, 600, ,000.-

Hot and Cold weather Cigars.

''Haye hot or cold weather cigar?"
asked the dealer. Being curious asked
him to explain, whereupon he said:
ssProbably you don't know that some
men change the brand of the cigars which
they smoke all winter for different one
as the spring or summer advances. No?
Well, I'm glad I've told newspaper man
something new. could mention dozen
well known Brooklynites who smoke mild
cigars in hot weather and strong ones in
cold. Some men think that strong
weed has q debintating effect in the dog
days, and I guess they're about right.
Cigarettes are more popular in summer
than in winter. Even dude doesn't
care to smoke cigarette when the ther-
mometer is at zero. The paper sticks to
ones mouth, and taken altogether the
sensation is disagreeable. Smokers, and
more especially Brooklyn smokers, are
fastidious. They want their cigars just
80, and unless o dealer is particular he
stands good chance of losing much Gus
tom. Most of my trade is done by the
box, although do quite transient busi-
ness. Brooklyn Eagle.

chickering's Of Royalty.

Regrettably enough, the practical es-
arrangement between the queen and the
Princess of Wales is deepening. During the
past few months they have seen less of
each other than ever. Her royal highness
never disregards her majesty's positive
commands when there is family gather
ing in some vault or other for pocket
handkerchief drill, but she avoids meet
ing the queen unnecessarily, and her
majesty certainly never makes pleasant,
motherly call at Marlborough house.
Were there no Princess of Wales it is pos
sible that in her old age the queen might
abdicate in favor Of her eldest son, but
her majesty will assuredly never consent
to play queen dowager to the princess
queen.-London Letter.

been in the habit Of dining each Sunday

one was absent, and when the host asked
why, one Of the guests said solemnly,
"Oh, he cannot come. he very, very dis

make any further inquiry at the time, but
after the meal ventured to ask the same

uneu,ishtened Picture puyers.

There is O curious idea among certain
class of unenhghtened picture buyers that
the value of picture is injured if it is ex-
hibited to any one else. To crafty this
whim the dealers keep many of their pur-
chases a profound secret and exhibit the
pictureS to one person at q time in their
private rooms, which could tell many
amusing stories. There is great deal Of
nonsense about this mystery, but there is
still plenty of provincialism among New
York picture buyers, many Of whom
would apparently prefer to have their
pictures come straight from the studio to
some secret chamber in which they might
be sealed up away from IN inartistic
world.-New York Tribune.

Ono Use for Salt Brine

Salt brine is used in Sheffield, England,
for hardening steel, says an exchange.
The mixture improves with age and use,
and to such an extent that its value is
largely increased. In some cases these
tanks are fifty years old, and have value
in proportion to their age. 1t appears
that the constant dipping of the hot metal
into the same solution alters in some way
its character er.-Boston Budget.

The Next Naval War.

Rear Admiral Simpson, from New York,
sat comfortably In an easy chair: In the
drawing room of the Hotel Balzac and
chatted for half an hour or so about va
riety Of naval matters.
-t-tsYes,n he said in reply to my inquiry,
: ssyou' are right. The next naval war will
solve some puzzling questions. AS to re-
sisting the attack Of a torpedo boat, OF
course no ships Of war can do it II the
blow comes from beneath, for the armor
plates never cover the bottomi but the
question Is, can, the torpedo boats get
underneath to explode their chargess You
see with the modern arrangements OF
flashing electric lights and double chain
nets at the sides, It is next to impossible
for them to approach q man-of-war with:
out being detected; and If once detected,
shot or two from the ships battery Of
Hotchkiss guns would put an end to the
thing at once. ;,
suggested that the torpedo boats
might 20 under these nets and come up
from below. "In general, you may say" !"
he replied, .that the experiments in that
line have met. with very little success,
but, Of course, If such q system can be
perfected, why' land the admiral
shrugged his broad shoulders); 1--we had
better all agree to remain on shore. How
ever that may be, think that the torpe-
does will have their greatest application
In the harbor and coast defenses. There
we shall see some lively times, the defend
ers ready to touch an electric button and
blow into pieces the first ship to cross the
spot where the dynamite lies ready, and
the enemy scheming, on the other hand,
and mostly at night to destroy the! tor
pedoes or to cut thewires. It will be like
the old game Of mining and countermin-
ing" ss a.-
In regard to our own naval strength

supposed to be absurdly weak in our navy;
but at. Least we haYethis advantage over
any other country, that we canproft now
